Lyrics
The Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Last night I dreamed that you and I were in an awful storm
With no place to go or shelter anywhere
And it took a while to realize the reason for the dream
Now the meaning of it all is coming clear
The storm was all the trouble we've been having
No shelter was the answer we can't find
And the screaming of the raging wind that chilled me to the bone
Must have been the weary on my mind
And when today you called to tell me it was over
Lord I knelt when the phone began to ring
Yeah it took a while to understand the reason of it all
But now I know the meaning of the dream
The storm was all the trouble we've been having
No shelter was the answer we can't find
And the screaming of the raging wind that chilled me to the bone
Must have been the weary on my mind
